Theme Song

You better run, you better hide 
We gotta keep you out of sight.  Be careful Sigmund. 

Cover your tracks when you leave 
Cause you know Zelda won’t believe your friend is Sigmund.

Who ever heard of a friendly seamonster
Lovin and laughin his life away?

You better run, you better hide
We gotta keep you out of sight.  Be careful Sigmund.

The other monsters put you down
cause you’re not mean And now we’ve found a friend in Sigmund.

Who ever heard of a friendly seamonster
Lovin and laughin his life away?

The other monsters put you down
cause you’re not mean And now we’ve found a friend in Sigmund.

He’s alright.  He’s out of sight.  He makes me smile, like his style.

I hope he stays awhile & he’s doin’ fine.  He’s a friend of mine.

   

Friends

There’s nothing like a day out on the beach
When all it does is rain
You need somebody to make the sun come out again.
When you find that special someone you never expected to
It’ll make you believe in magic
It could change your life for you.

Talkin’ about friends (friends, friends)
Knockin’ at your door. Friends (friends, friends)
That’s what friends are for.  Friends if you’re young or old

Friends (friends friends).

Talkin’ about friends (friends, friends)  That’s what it’s all about.
Friends (friends, friends)
Can’t live without friends who won’t let you down.
Friends (friends friends).

The following may be an alternate theme for the show. I haven't been able to confirm it, but Maria sent it to me recalling it as another song used as a theme. Two others I've talked to who said they remember it somewhat. I submit it here just because. And just for the record - the lyrics may not be totally correct.

 

Let me tell you a tale

A very scary tale about two boys who went surfing one day

On a very weird beach around dead mans point

where there are haunted sea caves they say

And strange sea monsters have been sighted there

If you're traveling in the area beware, beware, beware, beware

Mother: "Sigmund you're a lousy sea  monster"

Father: "yea, go out and scare some humans or you're through!"

 

Meanwhile back on the beach, Johnny and Scott are combing the rocks

Unaware that behind them Sigmund lurked prepared to give them a shock

Sigmund: "BOO!"

 

In total surprise the boys eyed this blob - what can it be

And then it moved and groaned and lo it was a monster from the sea

Now Sigmund the sea monster and Johnny and Scott are friends

The finest friends there ever could be in the land or on the sea
